“forking Roads.
Tlic,“repairs," if such they Inay be called,
made upon many of our roads, are, sunply
abominable. The money would have been
better expended had the workmen been hired
to have remained five miles away from them.
The idea that our roads must be made worse
than before fixing, ought to have been explo-
ded with the medical doctrine that no one
could be cured of indisposition without first
being made very sick. Our roads in manyjv
places have been filled with clumps of an
and stones, to such an extent that drrvrng
over them with any degree of speed or com-
fort, is simply impossible. On the bills, the
nuisance of “humocking” the roadway every
few rods is kept in vogue, when a moments
h ought would convince the most stupid
thinker that the danger of accrdents in de-
scending a hill, with the tendency to wash
the roadbeds, are tenfold multiplied by this
old time. and senseless nuisance. There is
business for our general surveyor and in the
interest of tax-payers, poor, dumb brutes,aiid
weak digestions, we plead with him to give
an early, personal supervision to our town
thoroughfares.

Fire, Almost.
We had a narrow escape from a serious
conflagration onWRlnesday last. During the
after part of that day flames were seen issn~
ing from the roof of the old fish market, he-
longing to Wm. B. E. Lockwood, Esq., and
adjacent to Gruman’s Dry Goods store. A
considerable hole was burned through the
roof and still more extensive ventillation
made in ripping off the shingles, apparently
with the double, and perhaps, laudible pur-
pose of putting out the fire and destroying
the building. Had not the flames been thus
summarily arrested, the entire line of wood-
en tenements between Lockwood’s Hall and
the Bridge, would have been swept off, in-
volving a serious loss of property both to
Insurance Companies and the owners. That
many really hoped for such a termination, in
aid of a decided local improvement, cannot
be doubted, yet a few moments reflection will
indicate at what a fearful cost to individuals,
and perhaps to the village, such a mode'of
dispensing with uninvitlng tenements In-
volvcs. We do hope to see the owners of all
this unsightly property, soon erect something
more acceptable to the public wants and
taste and less perilous to the propert y of ad-
jacent owners. -It is senseless to urge any
single proprietor to erect a costly brick
structure upon any one of these lots so long
as his neighbors lets his wooden fabric stand
to imperil the new edifice. We believe it
would be cheap for the tax-payers of the
Borough to pay one half the value of these
wooden buildings if the owners could there-
by be induced to remove them and erect
comely brick stores in their stead. .
May we not hope that a generous public-
spiritedness, and coupled with a just sense of
' personal security and advantage, will ere long
cause the change we have suggested from
Col. Lockwood’s creditable edifice up to the
south-east abutment of the Bridge.

Another Alarm of Fire.
At about Your o’clock on Saturday after-
noon, the cry of fire was again sounded in
the neighborhood of the Norwalk Hotel,
caused by a dark volume of smoke rolling
along theiroof of the residence of Mr. Geo.
G. Bishop. Investigation proved the alarm
to have been needless, as the phenomena
was caused by a new made fire and some pe-
culiar condition of atmosphere.

HOAx—An untold amount of unestimaled
indignation was let off last week, by the
denizens peopling the region of Union Park
in particular, and the idle public in general,
over a current rumor that Mr. Stiles Curtis
had sold, deeded, delivered, and by these
presents forever confirmed unto some un-
lucky Wight all and singular, to have and to
hold the fee simple in “ Union Park.” We
opine the party thus inveighed against was
wickedly cognizant of the spreading of the
“goak,” and must have enjoyed the coaster.
nation with as much delight as the boys who
upset the old lady’s bee hive. A little reflec-
tion would have satisfied those most alarmed
that as good title could be given of the trav-
eled highways over the Mott property, as of
this publicly recorded Park. Nor has our
'poor, weak humanity, with all its greed of
gain, arrived at that point where it is willing
to invoke the universal indignation and
scorn of its fellow man. for so small a pecu-
‘niary return. The Park will continue, and
we trust be hereafter associated with other
and better memories than circus nuisances
and selling out canard of 1867.

OUR STEAMBOAT—CHANGE 0F TIME.——0ne
of the most important changes for the citi-
zens of Norwalk in steamboat management
has been inaugurated the last week. Ilcre-
tofore so much importance has been attach—
ed to the connection Willi the Danbury Rail-
road that the convenience of our own citi~
zone has been entirely overlooked.
On Thursday last Capt. Monk did not. leave
New York till half-past three o’clock and
henceforth that will be the hour of depar-
ture, This gives passengers four or five
hours daily in the city, and a refreshing sail
down in the morning,and back in the cool of
the day.
The time of leaving South .Norwak re-
mains thc same, 7:45 a. m., or on arrival of
the Danbury and New Haven trains. The
price of excursion tickets to New York and
return is $1.25. We trust the new arrange-
ment will make these excursion tickets in
brisk demand, as we now have a boat to
Norwalkfor Norwalk people. The Nelly
White will be put on the route permanently,
next week.
On the Fourth of J uly, the steamer will
make an excursion to New York and around
Staten Island.

WThe Union Manufacturing Company,
during the past week, have been engaged in
excavating rocks beneath their factory, with
a View to an enlargement of their works and
grade, the frequent reports reminding one
of the heavy cannonading preliminary to a
great battle. They have just finished the
putting up of two large new Steam Engines,
manufactured for them by Woodrutl‘ &
Beach, Hartford. They are of 100 horse
power each, and are so arranged that during
a drought or failing a sufficient supply of
water to run their large water wheel, they
can connect the two and run them together;
at other times they can disconnect one and
run the other in connection with the wheel.
We are glad to note these evidences of their
prosperity.

' W Two or three young fellows came up
from New York last week and advertised at
sleight-of-Iiand performance at Lockwood's
Hall. During the performance, the “renown-
ed Magician," who “had performed before
crowned heads in Europe," got. nervous,
probably because his expenses were so much
larger than his receipts, and in our of his
tricks, in which be put a gold ring in a pis-
tol, managed to about one of his assistants;
the metal entering his arm near the shoulder,
inflicting a slight wound. The victim bore
it mani’ully before the audience, but behind

berries, and a like premium for the best quart
exhibited; the decision of the latter question

this vicinity have announced their intention
of competing, and it is hoped that thesplen-

WONDERFUL—1311.1 Wilson, of the Os—
wego Infirmary, now stopping at the Nor-
walk Hotel, has just shown us three sepa-
rate nnd distinct tape worms, each one with
its head, which he has just taken from Mr.
E. Appel, in Dormsnn’s barber shop, next
door to the Hotel, each one said to be about
1501ect in length. The public are invited to
call and see them together with others, in-
cluding the one which was taken from Mr.
Mead, of Stamford, a few days since; also,
a snake and lizard, and other specimens ta-
ken by the Dr. from difierent persons. We
have also been shown several letters from'
patients of the Dr‘s in Stamford and Port
Chester, informing the Dr. of their recovery,
among Which was one from W. R. Mead, of
Stamford, from Whom he removed a tape
worm 30 feet long ; one from Caroline Rice,
Whose son had been blind a long time, and
had been treated by numerous Doctors of
Stamford and other places Without success;
Dr. Wilson restored his sight in four days.
Also, one from Augustus Bates, Dry Goods
Merchant of Stamford, whose Wife the Dr.
treated for cancer of the breast,and who was
utterly surprised at her recovery in short
a time. The Dr. informs us that his remedies
are all composed of simple roofs and herbs,
and that he treats all diseases with equal
success. He claims that he can describe the
symptoms and locate the diseases of his pa-
tients without asking any questions, and of-
fers to pay $50 for every failure to do so.
Scores of people who flock to him dai-
ly say that they could not describe their diffi-
culties as accurately themselves as he does in
every case, and we presume their statements
are correct, especially on seeing the immedi-
ate results of his medicine.
P. 8. Dr. Wilson will remain at the Nor-
walk Hotel the present week only.

state, at least once in a year.
Mr. Street moved to lay the bill on the ta-

ed by Mr. Smith of Ridgeficld, providing
that Ridgefield shall always have one mem-
ber of the Board of Directors. Mr. Graves
opposed the resolution as containing a wrong
principle, and as acting precipitately without
hearing the remonstrants. Mr. Smith furth-
er explained that the matter had been delay-
ed from time to time, and the remonstrants
have been notified more than a week, and
had failed to appear. Mr. Woodward of
Norwalk, asked the representatives from
Ridgefieldjf the matter was not made an is-
sue in the spring election. Mr. Rockwell of
Ridgefield explained that at the election,
there were three tickets in the field, and him-'
self and colleague were elected by a plurality
vote, on this issue. He, himself, had noto-
fied the rcmonstr tits in person, of the reso-
lution and gave 1: cm ample opportunity to
attend and show reasons, if there should be
any, why the power should not be granted.
They have not appeared, and have not noti-
fied the committee of any intention to appear
to conte t‘flie matter before the legislature. .
Mr. ohnson, of Bedding, moved to lay
the report of the committee, with resolution,
on the table, and it was agreed to.

Our ofd friend Gazelle is stillpressing the
people of Norwalk to do their duty. Had
the Gazelle, with its present spirit of improve-
ment, lived an hundred and fifty years ago,
Norwalk would have been to-day a city of
from thirty to fifty thousand inhabitants. The
discussion about a city charter would have
long since been a matter ofhistorical record.
The avenues to Sangatuck and on Riverside,
with others, would have years ago, been
opened, and now adorned with beautiful
buildings, shrubbery and children ; and ere
this all those charming cminenccshoverlook-
ed one of' the most enchanting landscapes
that song ever celebrated, would have been
dotted all over with commanding villas,
chateaus and pleasant parks.
In that case you would have retained your
ancient trade to foreign ports, and the pro-
'ducts of the nations would have'flowed into
your inviting harbor, and poured unbounded
wealth into the laps of your favored, save us
from saying, ungrateful people.
Don' be discouraged, friend Gazelle. You
are dorng a good work for your ancient town,
and success Will crown your persistent plead-
ings for the right, the beautiful, the profita-
ble, and at length, the grateful. The good
people of Norwalk will learn, by and by, the
power of the Divine philosphy that scattering
incrases, and wilholdz'ng lends z'o importer-isle
Make all to understand that every stroke of
improvement adds handsome .percentage to
the value of every man's properiety.
Our eyes rested with such satisfaction upon
the scene spread. out before us,. while for
years overlooking the vale of Norwalk, and
its surroundings, as to leave impressions up-
on the tablet of memory never to be erased.

THE MASON Sr HAMLIN CABINET ORGANS.
-—Those who are at all conversant with mus-
ical matters have heard of the Mason St Harri-
lin Cabinet Organs, which may be said to
have achieved celebrity in a short time, corn-
manding attention in foreign countries as well
as at home. These makers had noted care-
fully the imperfections and the need of the
reed instruments, and directed all their prac-
tical experience and the knowledge derived
from an extended series of experiments, to
the correction of such imperfections, and to
the supplying of these manifest needs. Their
experiments in the single point of the reeds
has_resulted in the production of a quality of
tone which assiniulalcs so closely to the pipe
organ quality that it is difficult to distinguish
between the two. This a most important
development of the reed instrument, as it oh-
viates the popular objection to the i‘ornu-r
ready, thin nasal qualiiy of iiisiruincnls of
Hiisclass, and adapts it in a remarkable de-
gree :to the services of the church, and to the
vocal accompaniment and worship at home.

An Effectual Worm Medicine.
BROWN‘S VERMIPUGE COMPITS,
OB Worm LozuNaEs. Much sickness undoubtedly,
with children and adults, attributed to other causes
is occasioned by worms. ’I‘lie “ VEnllll-‘UGE COM-
Eirs," although cfl‘cctuiil in destroying worms. can
do no possible injury to the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been successfully
used by physicians, and found to be safe and sure in
eradicating worms, so hurtful to children.
Grumman IIAVINo Worms require immediate at-
tention, as neglect ofthc trouble often causes pro-
longed sickness.
Snrrroars 0E Worms IN CirrmneN are often over-
looked. Worms in the stomach and bowels cause
irritation, which can he removed only by the rise of
a sure remedy. The combination of_ ingredients
used in making Brown’s “ Vet-mirage Cbm/lls" is
such as to give the best possible effect with safety.

SGHENG-K’S MANDRAKI: PILL.
A Oct-lain. Cure for Diseased Liver and the
many Dangerous Maladies winch are caused
by‘a morbid condition of that organ.
T0 give the public a clear understandinor of the
mode in which SCHENCK’S Mandrake Pills
produce those wonderful effects which are attested by
thousands ofreliablc ‘witnesscs, we present a brief
' DESCRIPTION OF THE HUMAN LIVER
audits functions; which will make the operation of
this popular medicine perceptibleto every man‘s rin-
dcrstanding.’ '
The liver is sup lied with blood vessels, nerves
and absorbantsa no of its obvious uscs~is to se-
crete and prepare the bile. It likewise filters the
blood and separates that fluid from all impurities.
How indispensably neccsgary to health is the groper
performance of this function! If the liver is isciis-
ed, it cannot purify the blood, and if that is sent
back through the lungs, brain and other parts in a
morbid condition it must cuiisc juundice,liilions
ness, obstruction of the kidneys. gravel, and many
other complaints rnorc or less painful and dangerous
but. the least of them quite enough to make a man
sick and iincomlorlnblc, and unfit for the perform-
ance of any of the duties of life. 'I‘lilsunhealthy state
of the system very‘oftcn ends in pulmonary cori-
sumption. . .
The circulation of the blood is conducted in this
manner— The heart sends the vital current down
through the arteries ; It passes through the llcsli tu-
king up all impurities in its progress; their the
strcamof blood flows backward through the veins,
andpusscs to the liver to be purified. It is impossi-
ble to cure coirsuniptiori, scrofula, or scarce yany
other kind of ulceration ,WIIIIC that important organ,
the liver, is diseased. It Is for that reason that “reg-
ular physicians” rarely cure consumption. They
usually begin their ti'catiiiciil. with the use of some
cough medicine, the basis of which is niorpliiu tor
opium in some shape, which looks up the liver in-
stcad ol'reiaxiiig the secretions, giving a tone to ”re -
stomach, and producinga healthy flow of bile. Dr.
Schenck‘s
l’ulmonic Syrup, Seduced Ionic, and Alan-
(lrukc Pills
will.sf.rcngthcn the system, purify the blood, and ri-
icn and heal ulcers on the lungs. _ ,
Avolunw would be required, to give a brief ac-
count of the remarkable epics performed 'by Dr.
Sclienck‘s medicines, viz. llnlinouic Syrup. Scaivccd
Tome, and Mandrake Pills—Jail of WING-I1 are ac-
compuiiied by filll directions for the use of them.
DR. SCHENCK will be professionally at his rooms

of land to the mile, amounting to 20,032,000 acres,
estimated to be worth $20,000,000, making llie total
resources, cxclusivc ofthc capital, $118,410,000: but
the full value oftlic lands cannot now be realized.
The authorized Capital Stock of the Company 18
one hundred million dollars, of Which five millions
have already been paid in, and of which it Is not
supposed that more than twenty-ti ve millions at
most will be required.
The cost of the road is estimated by competent en-
gineers to be about one hundred million dollars:
exclusive of equipment.
PROSPECTS FOI’. BUSINESS.
The railroad connection between Omaha and the
East'is now complete, and the earnings of the Union
Pacific on the sections already finished for the first
two weeks in May were $113,000. These sectional
earnings as the road progresses will much more
than pay the interest on the Company’s bomls, and
the through business over the only line of railroad
between the Atlantic and Pacific must be immense.
VALUE AND SECURITY OF THE BONDS.
The Company respectfully submit, that the above
statement of facts fully demonstrates the scourity of
their Bonds, and as additional proof they would sug-
gest that the Bonds now offered are less than ten
million dollars on 517milcs of road, on which over
twenty million dollars have already been expended ;
—on 330 miles of this road the cars are now run-
ning, and the remaining 187 miles are nearly
completed.
At the present rate of premium on gold these bonds
pay an annual interest on the present cost of
NINE PER CENT.,
and it, is believed that on the completion of the road
like the Government Bonds, they will go above par.
The Company intend to sell but a limited amount at
the present low rate, and retain the right to advance
the price at their option.
